Bonus Recipe: Tahini Soy Sauce Salad Dressing

A creamy, salty tahini dressing for your crunchiest salads and rice bowls

Hi Friends!

Since she was a toddler, my youngest kid has been an eater with food obsessions that can last for months (or years) then abruptly end. There was a solid year or more when it felt like she ate only yogurt and buttered bread. She was obsessed with noodles for a short time, then white rice, then homemade sushi and berry smoothies. Currently, she’s on a grilled cheese sandwich with onions kick.

Where did she get this habit, I wondered, of craving one type of food incessantly? And then I looked at my own eating habits, and well, it’s pretty clear where it came from.

Right now I’m obsessed with this salty, creamy tahini & soy sauce salad dressing. I could happily eat a crunchy chopped salad (with tofu or chicken thrown in) every day for lunch if this dressing is poured on top. I make this dressing (instead of peanut sauce) when we have rice bowls with tofu and veggies. I’ve been known to pour it over cold noodles. I like it with roasted broccoli.

You get my point - you can pour this dressing over almost anything. If you need a jolt of new flavor in your life (who doesn’t?) I promise that this bold salad dressing will perk up your lunches and make salads interesting again.
